Oura Ring 5: A Smaller Ring That Excelled at Sleep, But Falls Short for Fitness Tracking

Oura Ring 5 is noticeably smaller with modest battery gains and some minor feature tweaks, delivering strong discreet sleep and daily-life tracking. However, its sports-tracking remains weak, heart-rate data isn’t reliably exported to Strava, and pairing external HR sensors can complicate data sharing. It’s best for users who want a tiny, non-watch tracker focused on sleep, not for serious workouts. Priced at $399 with a $5.99/month subscription, sizing requires a sizing kit, and real-world battery sits around 6–7 days.
